We’ve spoken in previous blogs about the hidden triggers of breast cancer health, as well as focusing on an anti-inflammatory diet for breast cancer prevention. Now, let’s focus on the nutrients you can take to support your body’s ability to fight off cancer-causing complications.
When you consistently incorporate certain vitamins and compounds that actively help prevent breast cancer, you add another layer of protection to your health. These nutrients support cellular health, reduce inflammation and promote a stronger immune system. So—next time you’re at any Guy’s Pharmacy location, what should you be looking for?
Vitamin D3 and K2
Vitamin D3 is a powerful tool because it prevents cancer cell development. It also encourages a robust, powerful immune system capable of minimizing inflammation. K2 works to ensure your intake of calcium is properly deposited into your bones. That also helps minimize the risk of it being deposited in organs or arteries, which could cause inflammation.
CoQ10 and Cellular Energy
The link between CoQ10 and cancer prevention is very evident in that it works to support the energy production of cells, including your body’s immune cells. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties that protect against oxidative stress, which we know is linked to cancer.
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone)
PQQ protects cells from oxidative stress and may also have some anti-tumor effects, according to early studies. We also know it supports mitochondrial function, which is essential for preventing cancerous mutations in cells as they develop.
